Paul, that's a well captured image. My only suggestion would be to play with a pano crop of about 2.5:1 to remove some of the top and bottom. You may find that this lends itself well to a b&w conversion a well.

Superb image Paul, spot on with the timing. Agree with Tom re crop. Its almost monochrome as is but would like nice in B+W too i would think. Was the wet weather gear for your camera or you? :biggrin:

Doing the good old paper on the screen trick, i agree about the pano crop sugestion.

A nice timed shot :cool: .For me i would like to see the water frozen more(faster shutter speed).

Well caught Paul. I'm in the 'try a pano crop' camp on this one. Funny how Porthcawl looks better in a storm ! :biggrin:

Hi everyone, really appreciate the comments on this one! Lol Robert,( yes Porthcawl does look good in a storm, but also in the nice weather too, email me sometime, if you fancy a tour, lol). Although loathed to crop my images, I must admit this does look better! But I wouldn't consider printing this image, considering the crop, a pity I think. :frown:
Regards,
Paul. :wavey:
